Adult hexapo crystalwings prefer to run in herds, taking turns to look after hatchlings, the elderly, and the injured. Magi introducing new hexapo to an established herd should be careful to introduce them as hatchlings; if that isn't possible, they run the risk of the new hexapo being beaten up and driven away. Fortunately this territorial behaviour only applies to other unknown creatures; with magi, adult hexapo crystalwings have usually learned to be a little more gentle, though they also have no issues with headbutting someone who's provoking them.

Though hexapo crystalwings are too heavy - and their wings too small - to fly, magi shouldn't be fooled by their generally lazy personalities. Given the right motivation, a hexapo crystalwing can easily run down a person. Most hexapo are found in southern areas, in grasslands and jungles where they have easy access to the waters they like to bathe in. When relaxed, they enjoy engaging in playfights, which may look dangerous to the casual observer, but don't usually result in any real injuries. Otherwise they spend most of their time eating and sleeping in the sun.
